The Big Apple Shoot Out-Brooklyn, NYC-80's Style!

It's no secret that I LOVE the 80's!  Big hair, bright colors, and awesome music...the inner 80's child in me was in heaven!  If you haven't been to The Bushwick Collective in Brooklyn, NY, it is a must see!  This was the perfect location for our urban 80's shoot.  Block after block-completely covered in amazing street art and murals.    Check out the designs on these outfits by Neon Kisses Inc.-Perfection!   Walk down memory lane with me...  

The Big Apple Shoot Out~Part One, Farm Life...

They say..."To be a photographer, we must PHOTOGRAPH.  No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the SIMPLE ACT of MAKING PICTURES.  Experience is the best teacher of all.  All for that, there is is no guarantee that one will become an artist ONLY the Journey Matters."  ~Harry Callahan  
This quote resonates with me.  I am the forever student...always seeking, always learning, always watching everything I can get my hands on!  This can only get you so far...Photography is different.  Action is important.  I need to TAKE the pictures, not just READ about it!  This shoot was a combination of both.  Surrounding myself with talented photographers in a creative stylized photo shoot was both "learning and doing" from some of the best out there.  What a fantastic journey!  This was "Day One" of our hands-on shoot out....more to come--80's style!!!  Thanks so much to Stephanie from Lemmonmade Photography and Mila from Mila Wells Photography for this amazing opportunity!
